On the passenger side, the r/h front mount does not have a nut to go into (but the hole in the body is there). You can either run with 3 bolts, or fab something up.

i ran Surf seats in my 85 extra cab, got them from the wreckers for about $300 pair (was a few years ago) great seats, very comfy and bolted straight in with a bit of drilling one of the holes out a bit on each seat (3 lined up the other was 1/2 a hole out)

If your seats runners etc are in good nic, why not get your seats reconditioned ? Might be able to get extra pading in them, more side support ( deeper bucket ) and new cloth trim etc... prob cost the same as 2nd hand seats, but instead you get new pretty comfy seats... just a thought anyway :)
